Regiment RA: {{~~quote~~blockquote\|"Yesterday, the Secretary of State for Defence made an announcement regarding a refinement of Army structures (see link below). As part of wider work to modernise the Army’s ability to fight at the divisional level a number of units, including 32 Regt RA, are to be rationalised, with personnel in those units being redeployed to other regiments. Further information from Army Headquarters states that this will not happen to us until 2021. I regret that I was not able to tell you all in person before leave, but I will hold a briefing for the serving Regiment when we return to work. Please rest assured that nothing will happen overnight: the Regiment will stay in Larkhill until then and our Mini-UAS operational output will remain the same. The readiness cycle will not begin to change until after 2019, so the plan for at least the next three years remains unchanged. The capability you provide to Defence remains highly valued, and I am sure you will continue to deliver it with the same professionalism and enthusiasm next year. I am sure you will have lots of questions; I will speak to your sub-unit commanders over the weekend and brief you all in more detail in January. In the meantime, please continue to enjoy a well-earned break. 2016 was a busy year for the Regiment, with exercises and deployments around the world. 2017 and beyond promises to be just as rewarding with plenty of adventure and opportunity for you all."}}</ref> .<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite web\|url=https://www.facebook.com/WessexGunners/posts/2410582212534317\|title=32 Regiment Royal Artillery -
